Kent State University (KSU) was established in 1910 as an institute for training public school teachers. Initially, it was known under the name of Kent State Normal School in 1911 in honour of William S. Kent, who donated 53 acres of land used for the original campus. Later in 1915, the school was renamed Kent State Normal College due to the addition of a four-year degree. 
With the efforts of Jhon Edward McGilvrey, the first president of what we now know as Kent State University, the school later gained the status of University in 1935.
